OT: My twitter account is about to be destoyed

[BBert]

God DAMN ... no wonder fucking athletes don't want anything to do with Portland. The smallest things are made into big deals and it's beyond frustrating.

We're lucky to have Dame. Despite all this bullshit, he still wants to retire as a Trail Blazer in Portland.

Yeah, for now. They're working on it.

 

[riverman]

Lawsuit coming soon.

He's mixum?

Kinda similarly: A few years ago my daughter took some photographs of some classmates in several heart shaped poses for a breast cancer awareness art project they were working on. The finished photographs were featured at school in the display case, and the local newspaper did a feature story on them. The newspaper published the photos in the paper. The author of the piece named the students in the photo, but did not name my daughter, who was the artist who took and processed the photos. My daughter was crushed. The other students were credited. The journalist who wrote the article was credited. THE PHOTOGRAPHER WHO TOOK PHOTOGRAPHS OF MY DAUGHTER'S PHOTOGRAPHS AND PUT THEM IN THE PAPER WAS CREDITED. Again, my daughter was not. So, I wrote a nice (really) email to the author of the article explaining their oversight and explaining my daughter's disappointment. I received no response whatsoever.

But that's really not the same thing. A newspaper is a business. It makes money. They published your daughter's photos in their publication (which is sold) without attributing credit. That's wrong.

Taking one photo that's posted on Twitter and reposting it on your own twitter account is not the same thing. Maybe if he used it on his own personal website, but not Twitter or Facebook or Instagram. That's the whole POINT of those websites.

 

[BonesJones]

You're going to be featured front and center in Canzano's next article about student athletes and their conduct on social media.

Shhhh don't give him any bright ideas haha

 

[HomerLovesKoolAid]

I thought he meant Canadian Broadcasting Company.

Too late...

Way to go Sly.... asshole!

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

I know what the "BC" stands for, but it was the "C" in front of the "BC" that has me confused by JC's "CBC" reference.

I dunno, his twitter account is part of his brand, and that pic with Kobe was part of his professional narrative. Anything he does is biz related, whether he means to or not, and attribution is part of the courtesy. Nobody gives a shit if I don't attribute because I have like 10 followers. Dame doesn't have that luxury.

Did you write the editor? The reporter isn't going to tell their editor they screwed up.

Well then we're going to drive celebrities away from twitter/facebook/instragram because they're not going to want to open themselves up to lawsuits whenever they post something.

And I would just like to say that I broke the story about Oden playing pickup basketball at 24 Hour Fitness and nobody ever credited me (including the Oregonian).

 

[SlyPokerDog]

We're all pretty smart and creative, I bet we can come up with a reason for Blake Griffin to punch Canzano.

 

[BBert]

I posted something about LMA about two years ago (during the off season). I made comments that were specific to his personality and things he had posted on twitter. About a week later he wrote an article basically paraphrasing it... true story. I know he reads these boards.

So Canzano plagiarized something you published on the internet? Can't say I'm surprised.

 

[BBert]

Exactly haha there's no way he's a fan of CBC.

Canzano's sarcasm doesn't need green font.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Look, I'm not here to say what social media is designed to do; I'm just saying what professional courtesy looks like.

Did they use your pictures?

 

[Spud147]

I was kind of sending a little shout out to Mediocre Man

you know - deal coming soon

Combining plagiarizing and getting sued for it and MM's catch phrase

At the time I laughed and laughed about it

Then I posted it and maybe it just wasn't that funny in the first place

Wait, what am I thinking? Obviously that can't be possible... clearly the problem is everyone else on the board.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

It'd be harder to come up with a reason for him NOT to punch Canzano...

 

[riverman]

The Nic Batum would be so much better though

I didn't get any pictures.... no camera phone

I completely agree.

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

By the way, did your twitter account get "destoyed"?

 

[Spud147]

So Canzano plagiarized something you published on the internet? Can't say I'm surprised.

He didn't plagiarize... he just wrote something that was very similar and it was specific enough to be obvious. I'll see if I can find the post/article.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

I completely agree.

But he reposted it while stripping the original attribution. Twitter *is* his personal website. That's where he lives. It just seems like a use of his power that didn't have to be that way.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

By the way, did your twitter account get "destoyed"?

Nah. Luckily I'm so insignificant not even the people angry at me stayed angry enough for long.

I'll fuck it up worse next time.

Look, I know people here think I'm as jackass; I'm just here to have fun.

 

[UncleCliffy'sDaddy]

After he mentioned CBC I had to take the high road... It wouldn't surprise me if this dude actually called my coach with "Hey, this player of yours..."

Uh, Bones....? Your coach is in Pasco. I suspect he is a bright guy, but do you really expect him to know who Canzano is? Or even care.....?? Just don't piss off the sports columnist for the Pasco Bugle....or whatever it might be called....

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

But he reposted it while stripping the original attribution. Twitter *is* his personal website. That's where he lives. It just seems like a use of his power that didn't have to be that way.

This "controversy" got the photographer more notoriety than if Dame had given credit initially, so now the dude should thank Dame for his role.

 

[julius]

That is SPECIFICALLY why I don't reply to anything on my facebook or twitter accounts. I don't want some nutjob like Canzano knowing who I am.

But you don't mind nut jobs like us knowing who you are.

Damn phone

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Probably. No publicity is bad publicity.

No one thinks you're a jackass.

Now me on the other hand, everyone knows I am.

So you're saying the only thing destroyed is the title of this thread?

Personally, I don't really care one way or another, and I don't think any differently for this. I just get tired of Canzano, and I do think the photographer is a bit ridiculous.
